These tik tok videos are pretty short right? Why not just get a note book and write down the instructions. You could even do a little line drawing of the important bits. You could keep this "cook" book in your kitchen, and maybe p

I had one of them drip coffee makers that ground the beans into a filter. You could set it with an alarm. Problem was the hot plate turned off after about 25 mins (and I wanted the jug warm a good bit longer). I found if I switched the powe

Well it depends what you mean by successful. If you mean earning a lot of money by selling art, then yes, it's all about playing the game, and who you know. The vast majority of artists don't do this, many make a living through mo

What's wrong with being a worker? That doesn't mean in and of itself, that there is a power imbalance. Companies need workers, it is a two way street.

Good art isn't defined by how much people will pay for it. That is fashion. Some artists are lucky, some are good at kissing ass and schmoozing, some are very talented and are recognised by people with money. But that is all fashion. I

It would be more true to say art is paid for by the rich. It isn't specifically for the rich. Most art is about reflecting aspects of people's lives, the artists mostly. Often this view is an extreme close up, so to an observer or

That's not the obvious solution. A better solution for example would be giving the workers tools and knowledge to get what they want just from their job (because everyone is different).

I'm not sure why you are getting downvoted as you are totally correct. It's a case of rules for thee and not for me. It is an uneven power balance between corporations and workers.

If for example your phone company changes its terms with you, it has to tell you, and you can exit the contract. I'm not sure how this works if it's one of them subsidised phones however.

I can imagine this becoming pretty standard in the near term, particularly in new smart phones, and also done for video too. As ever, yes it can be faked (by taking A picture of a screen for example) but it ups the cost of faking a massive

That 2.5 year thing sounds like the 5 second memory thing for goldfish. That is to say, it isn't true. The human brain is the most complex structure we know about, there is no way we can know for certain when the first memories form. T

If you like this I would recommend Neil Stephenson's Baroque cycle series of books. It is historical fiction, but I very much like the narrative style.

This is literally just taken from a fiction book. It's a good book, I enjoyed it. But,it's just a story. Geo engineering should probably be done pretty carefully

So they say 1 crash every 60k miles (or about 5 years worth of driving). I really doubt humans have one crash every 5 years on average. Then they say 1 fatal crash every 100 million miles.... And then make it sound like we have to have self

That's a good article, it would be a benefit to all if there was less inane shit generated just to boost up the Google page rank. Some things aren't even worth searching for anymore.

Thunderbird really made me appreciate snaps on Ubuntu. There was a buggy native version released at one point, and the repo was a bit delayed in getting the new version (it's my daily driver so pretty impacting). I saw the snap version
